Una proeza de la literatura brasile?a actual, publicada en diez pa?ses con un ?xito ins?lito y rotundo.
«Una luminosa historia social de Brasil, contada desde la perspectiva amorosa de un hijo acad?mico que se enfrenta a la enfermedad de su padre trabajador .
Jo?o Moreira Salles
«Las palabras son carreteras. Con ellas conectamos los puntos entre el presente y un pasado al que ya no podemos acceder [...]. Las palabras eran el regalo que mi padre tra?a en el cami?n cuando yo era ni?o . En este breve pero inmenso libro es el hijo, el soci?logo y profesor Jos? Henrique Bortoluci, quien nos regala ahora las palabras de su padre, camionero de profesi?n durante cincuenta a?os, para relatarnos una vida llena de maravillosas an?cdotas en la carretera. La distancia entre el hijo acad?mico, el primero de la familia que pudo estudiar, y el padre jubilado, ahora consumido por el c?ncer, parece insalvable, pero Bortoluci consigue acercarse a su mundo y resolver el enigma de un padre ausente que recorri? todo Brasil y particip? en enormes proyectos de infraestructuras, como la Carretera Transamaz?nica: un plan que conllev? la brutal deforestaci?n del Amazonas y que, como tantos otros planes encabezados por la junta militar, carcomi? un pa?s que en su d?a fue salvaje y que a d?a de hoy arrastra una profunda herida. Siguiendo los pasos de autores como Annie Ernaux y Svetlana Aleksi?vich#, en este conmovedor y brillante testimonio de amor filial Bortoluci revisa la historia reciente de Brasil para mostrarnos las cicatrices inscritas en la piel tanto de las personas como de los pa?ses. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A genre-bending and thought-provoking examination of capitalism and cancer - and recent Brazilian history - based on the author's interviews with his truck driver father.
In What Is Mine, sociologist Jos? Henrique Bortoluci uses interviews with his father, Didi, to retrace the recent history of Brazil and of his family. From the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s, Didi's work as a truck driver took him away from home for long stretches at a time as he crisscrossed the country and participated in huge infrastructure projects including the Trans-Amazonian Highway, a scheme spearheaded by the military dictatorship of the time, undertaken through brutal deforestation. An observer of history, Didi also recounts the toll his work has taken on his health, from a heart attack in middle age to the cancer that defines his retirement. Bortoluci weaves the history of a nation with that of a man, uncovering parallels between cancer and capitalism - both sustained by expansion, both embodiments of 'the gospel of growth at any cost' - and tracing the distance that class has placed between him and his father. Influenced by authors such as Annie Ernaux and Svetlana Alexievich, is a moving, thought-provoking and brilliantly constructed examination of the scars we carry, as people and as countries.
